For work, college, and everyday tasks. Fill in what you know; your entries are not sent to a server.
What are you trying to accomplish, and what context should AI understand?This gives the prompt your goal and situation.
What approved materials or facts should AI use? Avoid sharing private information.This identifies what information AI may draw from.
Give AI one specific, useful task.This states the help you are requesting.
Set the format, limits, and rules the response must follow.This sets the standards for AI's response.
How will you check the response and decide what to revise?After using AI, record what you actually checked, changed, used, and disclosed. This becomes part of your AI-use explanation.

Point to your class notes, reading, or facts. You can say, “Use only the notes I provide.” Don't include names or private information.
Ask for a clear learning task, such as an explanation, practice questions, or feedback on your own idea.
Choose a length, format, or rule. Example: “Use simple words, give one example, and don't give me the answers until I try.”
After you use AI, explain what it helped you do, what you did yourself, and how you checked its answer. Copy this part to show your teacher how you used AI responsibly and did your own work. It is not added to the AI prompt.
Make it, copy it, and use it in an AI tool your school or family allows.

Dr. Combs’s qualitative study examined how ten African American undergraduates experienced AI in higher education, including academic learning and activities beyond coursework. These findings offer context for intentional use; the P.E.A.C.H. steps are a separate teaching framework.
Participants described help with processing information, comprehension, and efficiency.
Students navigated faculty expectations, personal responsibility, and academic integrity.
Participants raised accuracy concerns and described checking AI responses.
AI appeared in organizational planning, leadership, and creative or administrative work.
Repeated exposure shaped comfort and how students perceived AI’s usefulness.
Give students clear expectations for AI use, teach verification and ethical decisions, and make space for AI learning in student leadership as well as coursework.
Study context: ten participants at one public state college in the southeastern United States; semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis. The Technology Acceptance Model informed the study. Findings reflect these participants’ experiences and are not a measure of all students’ outcomes.


AI Strategist · Higher Education Leader
Dr. Tocarro Patrice Combs is a higher education leader, educator, and AI strategist with more than 15 years of experience across student engagement, leadership development, and student success. Her work focuses on the thoughtful use of AI in teaching and learning.
She earned her Ed.D. in Higher Education Administration from the University of West Georgia, where her research examined undergraduate students’ experiences with artificial intelligence. She was the first doctoral student at UWG to receive IRB approval to use AI for first-cycle coding in her thematic analysis.
Her passion for emerging AI technology, global education, and community leadership drives her to connect people, expand opportunity, and turn bold ideas into meaningful impact. She created the P.E.A.C.H. framework to help people use AI with purpose, clear boundaries, and human judgment.
LorRaine used Prompt Possibilities to create a prompt for her task. The result she shared: a functional budget calculator.
“Prompt Possibilities is phenomenal. I was able to create a functional budget calculator using my customized prompt.”— LorRaine
“This is awesome! Wow, my students could use this!”
“This was super cool & easy.”
Bryson created an interactive coloring sheet.
